The ova of the females are said to vary from yellow to orange 

 in colour. 



The following description of the egg of this species was made 

 by Mr. F. W. IVohawk from a single specimen found attached to 

 a female obtained by Consul Sharpe at Zomba:- — • "The ovum, of 

 the usual Arfjynnis form, conical in shape and measuring Jj inch 

 high, with about twenty longitudinal keels, irregular and varying in 

 length ; some running for only two-thirds the distance from base 

 to apex, others terminating before reaching the summit, eight only 

 extending the entire length. It is ribbed transversely by about 

 twenty in number, the ribs being irregularly distributed and widely 

 separated near the summit, gradually becoming closer and shallower 

 until finally disappearing at the base. 



" In general structure this egg very closely resembles that of 

 A. sdene (very much more than that of either A. euplirosyne or 

 lathonia), the number and formation of the keels and ribs being 

 similar ia both species. It differs most from A. lathonia, A. enpliro- 

 sipie being intermediate between A. sniarmjdifera and A. latlionia."
